AN ELDERLY FARMER has died following an accident on a farm in Kilkenny.
Gardaí said that a man in his 90s was fatally injured following a farming accident in at Sevensisters, Johnstown, Co Kilkenny.
The incident occurred at about 9.15pm.
A spokesperson for the Health and Safety Authority said that inspectors arrived on the scene this afternoon to carry out an investigation.
It is believed that the man may have been attacked by a cow while working on the farm.
The man has been named locally as Jim Dowling, a well-known farmer who was working on his son’s farm.
Local Fine Gael councillor Mary Hilda Cavanagh said that Jim was “a great community man” and that his death was a tragedy.
“He was a farmer in the area. Very active, very hard working and a great community man,” said Cavanagh.
It’s a terrible tragedy for the family.
Gardaí said that the HSA and An Garda Síochána were investigating.
A report will be forwarded to the local coroner.
I bought a ticket in the last General Election for a Better Ireland, turns out it was a fake too.
Brilliant , Me too turns out they didn’t even sign the contract either.
Ticketmaster aren’t exactly innocent in this, with their ticket reselling companies.
Well if somebody buys a ticket to Electric Picnic 2014, more the fool he….
this is just propaganda to make sure you buy tickets from ticketmaster! I have 2 spare ones for electric picnic anyway if anyone’s looking. legit as fcuk
Are they more legit than your user name?
slightly funkier
My rugby world cup tickets were stolen, I moved address & the mail redirect didn’t work, someone signed for them with an illegible squiggle, RWC have cancelled the barcodes on the tickets and the tickets are now void. I just hope some unsuspecting person doesn’t buy them from whoever stole them. Whenever you buy tickets from someone without a licence to sell them you are talking a huge risk.
*taking not talking obviously :)
Ticketmaster used to advise to do your ticket exchange at a Ticketmaster outlet and they would verify the authenticity of the tickets for you. Are they no longer offering that service? Also stop posting pictures of your tickets to social media as the barcodes can then be copied!
I’m looking forward to this year’s eccentric picnic..uh oh :-o
I used to buy the tickets and give the touters the money when I got into the event, not much that can go wrong
From your point of view no, but what if you don’t pay them?
Well you won’t be getting a counterfeit beating.
Beware of fake acts
Gas, sure they’re in control of security features on their tickets, perhaps improve them!
have your say
